DESCRIPTION
Scientific Name: Hippodamia convergens
Also known as the convergent lady beetle, LADYBUGS are among the most recognized garden allies. They exhibit the typical round dome shape of the Coccinellidae family, measure about 5-8mm, and have red to orange colored wing covers adorned with black spots. They are distinguishable from other lady beetles by the prominent black and white lines that converge behind the head. Both adults and larvae will actively seek and feed on a wide range of small insects, and occasionally nectar and honeydew. Adults can thrive for weeks or months in a variety of temperatures and humidity levels, as long as they have adequate food and water. In some cases, they may even overwinter in cracks and crevices. The full life cycle, from egg to adult, takes approximately 2-3 weeks. Females seek out aphid colonies and lay small clusters of 200 to over 1,000 yellow spindle-shaped eggs on the undersides of leaves. In about 3-5 days, the eggs hatch into dark, alligator-like larvae with three pairs of legs. These larvae actively seek prey for the next 10-30 days, sometimes traveling as far as 40 feet. After full development, the larvae undergo pupation for 3-12 days in a protective pupae attached to a leaf or stem until emerging as fully formed adults.

Our carefully chosen ladybugs go through a special cleaning and feeding process to make sure they are in tip-top condition. We include a food and drink source in each retail package to keep them ready for action.


LADYBUG LIFE-CYCLE:

Egg: 2-5 days  |  Larvae: 21 days  |  Pupa: 7 days  |  Adult: 1 year

 

TEMPERATURE
33-105°F


INTRODUCTION RATES
LIGHT INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, monthly.

MODERATE INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, bi-weekly, 2-3 times.

HEAVY INFESTATION:
Introduce 1 ladybug per square foot, weekly, 2-4 times.


It's important to note that these release rates serve as general guidelines and may vary based on the specific pest species, the crop or plant being treated, and level of infestation. Proper monitoring of the infestation and the subsequent effectiveness of the released beneficial insect population is crucial for determining the success of the biological control strategy.


HOW TO RELEASE:

  1. Introduce ladybugs in the early morning, evening, or on a cloudy day when the temperatures are cooler. 
  2. Mist leaves to improve ladybug habitat. Misting the foliage beforehand may improve performance. With ample food and moisture, ladybugs can begin to reproduce immediately.
  3. Introduce ladybugs at the base of the plants.
  4. Introduce multiple times throughout the growing season to stay ahead of the pest lifecycle.

STORAGE
CONSUMER STORAGE:
For best results introduce immediately. Store at 36-45°F for no longer than 30 days.

RETAIL STORAGE:
Enjoy a shelf life of 30 days. Keep them away from direct sunlight, and if you’re storing them in the fridge at 36-45°F, they can last up to 4 weeks without watering. When they’re on display, give them a light mist once a week. To make them last even longer, switch them between display and the fridge each week.


PRO TIPS:
Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.

Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.

Great for frenchies
Color: Squeaky Corn Dog Toys
Really nice toy, my dog loved it until it broke, really good for frenchies! It’s a great cheap toy but the knots get chewed through.

Tasty Treat
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
Puppies loved these! Unfortunately, they liked so much- didn’t last as long as anticipated. We have more aggressive chores than I thought 🙃

My puppy loves it!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
My puppy absolutely loved these chews! They kept them busy for a good amount of time and helped with chewing during the teething stage. The treats have a nice texture that’s softer than regular bones, so they’re great for puppies and small dogs. The roast beef, apple, and bacon flavors were a huge hit, and I like that they’re made with more natural ingredients compared to many other puppy treats. They don’t leave a huge mess, and the small size is perfect for petite puppies. Great option for rewarding and keeping little pups entertained.

Puppy is in heaven!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
This is our second order! My newborn pup loves these things and they last a good long time! I do not feel there’s a choke hazard like with rawhides because these bones kind of disintegrate like an edible substance and don’t make a mess. Will keep on the auto ship!

Great for puppies
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
My 8 week old puppy loves these bones! They did keep him busy but I wish they lasted him a little longer! With that being said, I would still purchase these again.
